Here are five of those great Google apps that you probably never heard about.

We all know Google is the biggest search engine in the world but as company, it is also one of the biggest companies in the world.

By virtue of the power it has, Google regularly puts out various kinds of apps to help make life that much more fun and efficient. The problems with today’s world is that most of those apps go under the radar and most people never know about them.

Google Family Link: This app lets you keep track of the kinds of things your kids (under 13) explore on their Android devices. the app lets you create a Google account for your kid that’s like your account, whilst also helping you set certain digital ground rules for the family.
